Sue Doughty MA MBACP (Accred)
About me
Welcome! If you're here, it is likely that you are looking for someone to talk to, that you can trust to help you work through issues that are troubling you and someone who you hope will understand. The first step can sometimes be the hardest as, when we are struggling it can often be difficult to reach out, to know where to start , or to imagine that anyone might understand our perspective.
I know that talking helps, and that working with someone who we can trust and who will meet us with kindness, can make all the difference. I am an experienced counsellor based in the North of Cambridge. My approach is founded on the principle that we all have the potential to live a rich and fulfilling life. I offer a safe and confidential space where you can talk about what is troubling you. I will listen without judgment or ridicule and help you to bring a deeper understanding to what is concerning you.
Many of my clients come because they finding that life is a struggle, and are experiencing anxiety or depression, going through a time of great change or upheaval, or have experienced the breakdown of a relationship or a loss. I work from a holistic context which sees problems not just as difficulties to be overcome, but as part of a process which may contain a message or call from a deeper part of ourselves that is longing for change. I will listen deeply to what you bring and support you to find your way through and discover what you need.
I am currently working both online and in person. My practice is based in Waterbeach village which has frequent rail services from Ely and Cambridge and lies close to the A10 and A14 with very good parking.
I have an MA in Psychosynthesis Psychology, a PG Diploma in Counselling and in regular supervision. I am an Accredited member of BACP. I welcome any questions that you may have.
